Klopp will be happiest hipster in Germany knowing that Shinji's returning and that can build a strong negotiating position in further deals.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) are here to talk about United's dreadful home defeat at the hands of Big Ange's Tottenham Hotspur. Should this have been the end of Ten Hag? How long does he actually have left? And does Nik finally want ETH out?!

Zaha gone and Hernandez, Cleverley and Kagawa look to be following him out of the club.
Not sure why Monaco, who apparently have loads of money, are entertaining shipping out their best players.
A loan for €20m?? What has the football world come to!
I hope Kagawa buys us an "in" with either Reus or Hummels, and Hernandez does the same with Vidal.
Most likely including a future option to buy where those €20m has been ''removed''
10m wages + 10m fee. Normal.
I wonder when it was the last time such a 'normal' deal was done for loans.
We paid 10 mill for tevez deal, didn't we?
Seeing deadwood about to get cleared feels as good as expecting a new signing.
Welbeck looks certain to leave as well.
Hmm fair point.
Not sure as Cheech is leaving.
Source?
Hopefully
Poor Kagawa. He was a quality player at Dortmund, it just didn't work with us.
Think he'll stay if hernandez leaves, which I think he will.
Once Hernandez plays a few games for them and they realize what they've actually bought, they'll refuse to ever negotiate with us again.
... Okay, that's a bit unfair but he really isn't that good.
I reckon the owner has decided to limit the spending, I don't think a club like Monaco can keep this up for long considering how they don't have much of a fanbase.
After Tuesday I would say Pereira is ahead of both Rothwell and Pearson in the pecking order.
Sky Sports:
I think that both Hernandez and Welbeck will leave, along with the obvious ones like Cleverley and Kagawa (Zaha is already gone).
He will leave too, but probably on loan.
Owner has limited spending. Was done in big time in a divorce settlement too.
i wonder with Kagawa leaving there might be a clause for Reus, for them just to piss of Bayern.
All our players leaving, what about players coming in?.
LVG needs to convince him to stay if Cheech leaves. Especially if wants to play 2 up top.
SAF would have put a arm around him and done it under wraps only. Test of LVG's man management skills.
If we switch to 4-3-3 (which is quite likely with the Di Maria signing), we won't need 4-5 strikers. We could offload Welbeck and Hernandez and start giving Wilson chances in the team. Even if we stick to 3-5-2, we should be fine without both of them as if it comes to that, Januzaj could play up top as well.
Why would Dortmund do us any favours if we sold them back Shinji? We got him cheaply because he would have left for nothing eventually.
We paid £3 million per year for the two years he was with us:
"United are understood, in turn, to have agreed to pay Harlem Springs – Joorabchian's company – £3m in each of the two years Tevez played for the club, and United had an option to buy him permanently for £25.5m at the end of the loan. Tevez helped United win the Premier League in 2008 and 2009 and on that rainy night in Moscow, the 2008 European Cup. Yet Sir Alex Ferguson decided in 2009 he did not want to pay £25.5m for Tevez and amid some acrimony at Old Trafford, Joorabchian negotiated with City."

It reminds me of Football Manager where i would 'add manager' and loan all my younger players to other clubs for all their transfer budget.
I`m happy for Shinji. He deserves to start and play regularly. Hope he is as successful in Dortmund as he was before the transfer to us
Plus, I'm not sure what Kagawa (and even Klopp) is going to say to the players and whether he'll recommend us. I dunno.. hopefully he has good things to say about the fans at any rate.
So nearly 4 mill euro then. I didn't recall well.
Feels a bit sad to lose Clevz tm
Always wanted him to turn into a great player, hopefully this kick starts his career

Must be FFP. Not sure they have enough to show through 'allowable' revenue streams to justify the expenses.
Its weird, it always annoyed me how the Kagawa fans would overrate him and say some ridiculous things on here because Kagawa didn't deserve that praise for what he showed for us BUT i think its a mistake to get rid of him, and i'm now surprised how everyone seems fine with him going. Its a bit ironic.
That's quite a clear out LvG has going for one day!
Rio, Vidic, Evra, Buttner, Nani, Zaha, Cleverley, Kagawa, Hernandez and Welbeck either gone or on their way out. That's a hell of a summer clear-out. We have fewer games than normal this season, but we need another body in before the window shuts. Hopefully Ed will make it rain once more.
